In December 2022 businesses across Manchester city centre voted in support of continuing the city’s Business Improvement District (BID) for another five-year term. The new term, alongside the announced Manchester Accommodation BID, will see an additional £6 million a year invested into the city centre.
Voting for a third term was expanded to incorporate 200 offices, growing the BID’s footprint in the city, and evolving its cross-sector membership.
This expanded proposal attracted a turnout of 42.64% with 242 votes in favour and only 3 against. 98.76% by number, 99.56% by RV.
